Post image for Lady GaGa – Bad Romance

After a demo or two leaking, the first single off ’s The Fame: Monster has finally arrived. “Bad Romance” made its world premiere on BBC Radio 1 just a few hours ago. Luckily we have a high quality mp3 now.

Lady GaGa continues to impress me despite adopting faux accents on her new material. Where “Alejandro” saw a GaGa with a soft Spanish accent, you can hear a slight French accent on “Bad Romance.” In fact, a few lines of the song are actually sung in French.

“Bad Romance” also has a horror side. It’s subtle, but I can already see a “Disturbia”-esque music video in the works. Listen to the new single below:

“Bad Romance” will appear on The Fame: Monster, and 8 track mini-album that will be sold along with GaGa’s released debut, The Fame. The Fame: Monster will be released on November 24th.

Lady gaga is fucking terrrrrrrible. She' an intriguing personality, and a tabloid magazine's dream, but that's it. Why can't anyone else see this?

People like you are funny. You mkae sure to click all of the posts that feature lady gaga to complain.

I liked the demo a bit more, but this version is bearable too. Alejandro is better though.

Because it's not a fact, it's your fucking opinion. And it's wrong.

Chis October 20, 2009 at 12:56 pm

How can an opinion be wrong? I agree with you about it being an opinion, and that opinions are purely subjective, especially in the world of music. But haven't you realized that no one knows anything about anything? The way I see it isn't necessarily the way you see it, or the way it ought to be seen for that matter. Just because it makes sense in your mind doesn't make it right. The important thing is that our opinions are well thought out. My OPINION is that Lady Gaga is a mediocre musical talent, at best, and that much of her popularity centers around her quirky personality. Does she have a dick? Doesn't she have a dick? If she were musically talented, no one would care about how many dicks she had.

Fuck you for calling my opinion wrong, you hypocrite.

That “is she a man?” bullshit has got absolutely nothing to do with talent or lack thereof. It's got everything to do with hate and ignorance. Every time I hear/read someone saying that I can feel the nastyness of it – no one would say that to someone they knew, or even a regular stranger. It's just that she's famous, fame seems to give people the idea that they can say whatever horrid thing they want to about a person. (For the record – no, there is nothing wrong with being transgendered.) These people are just trying to bring her down, possibly because she's a powerful (and I would say very talented) woman.
Anyway, just my opinion. I thought the rest of what you had to say was well said, and I'd agree with almost all of it (although, to be honest, I still found Dingo's comment really amusing).

P.S. – AWESOME SONG I love it. Yay Lady Gaga. Thank you for posting.

She's got a great voice, but I'm really sick of her. This doesn't feel original at all.

Reply

Pretty Much Amazing: Luis October 24, 2009 at 2:23 pm

I still feel she's the most original “mainstream” Top 40-radio/iTunes-era
pop star we've had in the late 00s.

Reply

Bear October 25, 2009 at 12:25 am

If by original, you mean adapting Roisin Murphy-esque music into more mainstream pop, then yes. I’ll give you “original.” ;)

Her visual aesthetic is definitely lifted from Murphy.

Reply

Pretty Much Amazing: Luis October 25, 2009 at 12:53 am

Oh well. At this point, I like her more than Roisin (I only really
liked, nah, loved Ruby Blue). :)

GaGa is my top pop artist right now

I think that Lady Gaga is a charismatic performer as well as a gifted singer/songwriter. It’s easy to get sidetracked by the otherworldly costumes, the heavy maquillage and the controversy she wields like a scepter, but I think this is necessary to some extent: We live in a society where distractions pull at us from all directions. In such a society, an artist needs to have a charisma/persona that gets people’s attention AND the raw talent to back it up. Lady Gaga has both. She is no flash in the pan, no overnight sensation soon to be forgotten. She’s the real deal, no matter what form she happens to take. Bad Romance is a wonderful song and an absolutely fascinating video. I look forward to whatever she has in store for us next.
